DISK STYLE BRAKES
The distinctive feature of disk brakes is the actual
braking disk that is fixed to the wheel and the caliper unit
attached to the front fork or rear wheel frame.
The brake is activated either by a cable or hydraulic
system. Disk brake systems require special care of the
disk itself, which can even be damaged by some bicycle
parking racks.
Hydraulic systems may require special tools and
adjustments. If in doubt about any adjustments or
maintainance consult your bicycle retailer or the
manufacturer’s manual or specifications data.
Some
brands provide technical data on their websites.
WARNING: Failure to properly maintain your
brake system may result in a crash.
The brake Quick Release mechanisms are used to open
the brake arm to assist in the removal / installation of
wheels. The brakes will not function if the Quick Release
is left open.
WARNING: Failure to firmly secure the Brake
Quick Release Mechanism may cause a crash.
